it should really be disallowed in all cases where it cannot possibly be a method call

well dot form really

I am confused by the definition of function js-obj in cljs.core. The 0 arity looks like a recursive call to me, but it certainly returns quickly without infinitely recursing. Is someone familiar with what is going on there?

Here is the defn for quick reference:

(defn js-obj
  "Create JavaSript object from an even number arguments representing
  interleaved keys and values."
  ([]
     (cljs.core/js-obj))
  ([& keyvals]
     (apply gobject/create keyvals)))

Maybe that is dead code?

When I try to declare my own similar function, it does call the 0 arity, and recurses infinitely. Hmmm.

@andy.fingerhut see https://blog.fikesfarm.com/posts/2016-03-01-clojurescript-macro-sugar.html cljs.core/js-obj is also a macro which will used first

ah, that makes sense then why I couldn't find it in the same source file with the defn of js-obj.

@andy.fingerhut this is a difference from Clojure

ClojureScript macros and fns can have the same name

I've coined the term "macro-function" https://blog.fikesfarm.com/posts/2015-12-12-clojurescript-macro-functions.html

^ That's non-normative, we have formal language in https://clojurescript.org/about/differences#_macros FWIW
